Brian Griffin is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy, and is voiced by show creator, Seth MacFarlane. MacFarlane uses his normal speaking voice for Brian, as opposed to the vocal modifications he makes when voicing other characters in the show such as Peter and Stewie. Brian is portrayed to be a dog of mixed breed, possibly of a sheep dog and a beagle due to his mother living on a farm and Stewie saying "he looks like Snoopy".

Origins

In the Larry shorts, Seth MacFarlane provided the same voice as Brian for a dog named Steve. Steve had the same collar and the same personality. The Larry shorts were two animated films made by Seth MacFarlane in the 1990s, which led to the development of Family Guy as a prime-time TV show from 1999 onwards. ...

Overview

Brian is a talking dog who has lived with the Griffin family since Peter picked him up as a stray. While he exhibits some typical dog behaviors like eating garbage, licking himself, playing fetch, leaving dead birds on the porch, intensely fearing the vacuum cleaner, despising the dog whistle, sleeping at the foot of Peter Griffin's bed, barking uncontrollably at other dogs, and trouble standing up in the car, he also possesses various anthropomorphic qualities, such as the ability to speak quite intelligently, drive a car, drink, smoke, and walk bipedally. He also has a particularly sharp wit.^[1][2] Peter is his best friend, despite Brian's vastly superior intelligence. Seth MacFarlane has once described Brian as "a dog who has a wit as dry as the martinis he drinks."

Brian has a cultured background; he loves opera and jazz, and loves to sing, as shown in Brian Sings and Swings. He is depicted speaking fluent French, Tagalog, and decent Spanish.

Brian is apparently working on a novel, but the fact that he just can't seem to finish it has become a running gag. It was first mentioned by Stewie in the episode "Brian the Bachelor" (the subject was brought up twice) and again in "Brian Goes Back to College", wherein Stewie mockingly asks him how he is coming along with the novel, his voice growing higher and higher in pitch until it reaches a comic level, only returning to normal after the subject is dropped (though in the latter episode, Stewie goes right into his high voice, with Brian quickly knocking him out for revenge). In Saving Private Brian, Stewie attempts to keep Brian from leaving the army by saying "You dropped out of college and you still haven't finished that novel," pointing out that he believes Brian rarely completes what he sets out to do. In the episode "Movin' Out (Brian's Song)", he tells Lois he has finally come up with a plot for the novel and has entitled it Faster Than the Speed of Love. Lois merely cracks up at how stupid the title sounds, and finds it even more hilarious after realizing his plot is coincidentally a mix of the entire Iron Eagle series. In "The Former Life of Brian", Brian gets stoned with his son Dylan, and reveals details of the novel, including "In chapter 28, the other pilots finally trust the Japanese pilot and let them into their group." This refers to a plot line in the film "Aces: Iron Eagle III". “Brian the Bachelor” is the seventh episode from the fourth season of the FOX animated television series Family Guy. ... “Brian Goes Back to College (and Stewie Goes with Him for Obvious Comedic Reasons)” is an episode from season four of FOX animated television series Family Guy. ... “Saving Private Brian” is the fourth episode of season five of the FOX animated television series Family Guy. ...

While not seen holding a regular job in Quahog, Brian is depicted owning a car, paying bills, and maintaining a credit card. In various episodes he has been a substitute teacher at Chris' school, a contributor for the The New Yorker, a taxi driver^[4] and a drug-sniffing dog for the Quahog police department.^[3] He also worked selling cars while the Griffin family thought that Peter had died in the episode "Perfect Castaways".

Background

In the Family Guy universe, dogs are either talking, anthropomorphic creatures like Brian and his cousin Jasper, or regular animals such as his mother, Biscuit, and his one time lover, Seabreeze. Brian's "anthropomorphism" is rarely remarked upon. Exceptions include when Peter's boss Mr. Weed refers to him as a "funny talking dog". In the "Road to Rhode Island" episode he asks the owner of his mother, Biscuit, if he remembers him, the farmer asks which one he was, and Brian says "I was the one who could talk", to which the farmer remembers him immediately. Also in the episode "Brian in Love" when Brian tries to explain his relationship troubles to Peter, who responds, "Oh my God! You can talk!" (this was not the first time Peter had spoken with Brian; Peter had known Brian for years at this point). Another example of Brian's "anthropomorphism" is his attraction to human women; Brian has dated several since the show began (such as Jillian), and is deeply in love with Peter's wife, Lois. A fictional universe is an imaginary world that serves as the setting or backdrop for one or (more commonly) multiple works of fiction or translatable non-fiction. ... 7th millennium BC anthropomorphized rocks, with slits for eyes, found in modern-day Israel. ...

Brian was born on a farm in Austin, Texas, in a litter of five puppies, the other four being apparently non-anthropomorphic. The show has yet to explore his youth and adolescence in detail. He was homeless, panhandling, and cleaning car windows on the side of a highway exit when Peter found him. Having no money to give Brian, Peter brought Brian home to the Griffin family. Brian also intermittently attended Brown University, though he remains one class short of graduating (in the season 4 episode "Brian Goes Back to College", Brian re-enrolls in an attempt to earn his degree, but fails). Brian references his unseen service in the Peace Corps in the season 4 episode "Jungle Love". When Brian returned to Austin to find his mother, in Road to Rhode Island, he found that she had died and her owners were using her stuffed body as a table. Brian absconded with her body to give his mother a proper burial. In another episode, when Brian teaches Chris's English class, it is mentioned that his father's name was Coco and was run over by a milk truck.

Despite his anthropomorphic intelligence, Brian shares certain traits and shortcomings with real dogs. For example, he cleans himself with his tongue and scratches at fleas with his hind leg. On the commentary of "Road to Rhode Island", he confirmed that he sees in black and white, and although since it was him and Stewie giving commentary, it's not known if this can be considered canon^{[original research?]}). He has a fear of the toilet flushing (which is also odd, considering, he actually flushed the toilet, in the episode "Stewie Loves Lois"), and of the vacuum (which is again odd, considering that he was actually vacuuming in the episode "Fore Father")^{[original research?]}. He also couldn't control his animal urges for the prized Pewterschmidt dog, Sea Breeze, resulting in a paternity dispute, although he was ultimately proven not to be the father of Sea Breeze's pups (the father was revealed to be Ted Turner). Another example occurs in the episode "Blue Harvest", where he (playing the role of Chewbacca) is coaxed into the trash compactor by Peter throwing in a dried pig's ear which Brian uncontrollably chases in a fit of barking.

He is also shown to have a liking for dog food at times.^{[original research?]} In "Chitty Chitty Death Bang", he chases a hallucination of the chuck wagon from the commercials for Purina Chuck Wagon, and in "Barely Legal", he comes running with joy when Peter's daughter Meg shakes a bag of Dog Chow. He also, like other dogs, defecates outside on a daily basis, which results in him being made to wear diapers in the episode "Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey". In "Brian in Love", he urinates inside the house and gets in no trouble by blaming Stewie for it, but the ruse is revealed when he urinates inside a supermarket. “Chitty Chitty Death Bang” is the third episode from season one of the FOX animated television series Family Guy. ...

Brian seems somewhat ashamed of his animal urges and insecure about his canine status in general. He once refused to do degrading pet tricks for Peter during a dog show, despite it being necessary to win the money needed to buy the family a new air conditioner. He also chastised Lady and the Tramp for acting in typical dog-like behavior, saying, "That's just what they want you to do". He suffers mistreatment as a dog, with references to movies like The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman and School Ties, movies about characters who suffer from racial segregation and anti-Semitism. He is humiliated when the Griffins catch him with canine pornography. In a dog show, judges familiar with specific dog breeds evaluate individual dogs for how well they conform to published breed standards, hence the more accurate term is conformation show (or, sometimes, breed show). ...

Relationships

Romances

In addition to behaving like a human, Brian sometimes pursues relationships with humans. Usually other characters do not comment on the zoophilic aspects of such a sexual relationship; exceptions include "The Perfect Castaway", where Peter asks Lois why she wants to stay with Brian, then remarks, "That, and uh, hi? He's a dog." MacFarlane mentions in the commentary for "Castaway" that making episodes about Brian being in love is "always a line that we have to walk," concerning the mainstream media's anxiety regarding bestiality.

"Whistle While Your Wife Works" was the first episode showing that Brian did have sex with a human woman (albeit a very dim-witted one) named Jillian (voiced by Drew Barrymore).

After Stewie meets Jillian, he hassles Brian for the rest of the episode about her lack of intelligence, once asking if her parents were "brother and sister". Brian finally decides to attempt to break up with Jillian, but instead, he ends up leaving Stewie in the car for three hours.

In a different episode ("Peter's Got Woods"), Brian has another brief romance, with Shauna Parks (Gabrielle Union), one of Meg's teachers at James Woods High. Parks is black, in contrast to Brian's other on-screen girlfriends, who have all been white. Although not hostile (as in later episodes), Brian is awkwardly conscious of race in this episode, which Shauna seems to find sweet — "Nothing cuter than a nervous white dog".

Dylan is an extremely misbehaved and violent child and a handful for Tracy, who left him in Brian's care for a time. After warming up to him, Brian turned his life around and he became much nicer and calmer. Dylan eventually went back to his mother so he can help improve her life. What is peculiar is that Dylan appears to be fully human instead of half-dog. Also, he is 13 years old while Brian is 7; Brian explains (albet illogically) this problem by stating "Well those [his age of seven] are dog years." “The Former Life of Brian” is a season six episode of the FOX animated television series Family Guy. ...

Later in the episode, when she tells Brian her bras have become to small for her (due to swelling) he asks what she did with her old bras. In "Prick Up Your Ears", Brian immediately tells Lois, after Meg walked out of her room after she and Lois had a spirited discussion about vaginal intercourse, that he loves her. In "Peter's Two Dads", Lois and Brian secretly celebrate the death of Francis Griffin, but she slaps him when he grabs her breasts. However, in "Deep Throats", Lois and Peter, under the influence of marijuana, discuss a picture of Brian on the wall. Lois quips, "He wants to have sex with me so bad! He's not gonna get to!!" In "Meet The Quagmires" when Lois comes out the pool in a sexy-enchanted way, Brian responds to her in the edited version "Could I Wham! my Oingo Boingo into your Velvet Underground?" or in the unedited version, simply saying "I'd eat your poo."

Later, when Stewie begins listing all the horrible things that he plans to do to Lois after she returns from the cruise, Brian suggests to Stewie that he do many sexual things for the sake of his own erotic fetish over her.

In "Play it Again, Brian," Brian takes Peter and Lois on a vacation to Martha's Vineyard, which he won to receive a writing award for a poem he wrote. There, he read an excerpt from the poem, which is about her. He then spends an entire day with her, though his repressed feelings of love lead him to have fantasies of him kissing Lois. He eventually loses his self-restraint and ends up trying to have sex with her while openly professing his passion. When Brian apologizes, Lois herself finally admits that she feels the same way Brian does about her, saying she imagined having sex with him would be the same as "doing it with a stuffed animal," though they both agree she should be with Peter.

In "Meet the Quagmires," it is revealed that in 1984 when Peter cancelled a date with Lois and thus altered the future, Al Gore was elected President, which Brian seems happy about. When they call for Death to help them fix things, he reveals that "it has been a busy day" because Dick Cheney shot Justice Scalia in a hunting accident and the bullet went right through him killing Karl Rove and Tucker Carlson in the process; this makes Brian think that staying in the altered future isn't such a bad thing, and earlier he tells Peter that his not marrying Lois is the best thing that ever happened to the world.

Racism

Brian often uses civil rights metaphors to describe his second class status as a dog. However, in several episodes, Brian is embarrassed by his own displays of thoughtless racism.

In "Don't Make Me Over" he barks in reflexive hostility toward a black man, then apologizes anxiously, blaming his father ("Oh God. ... Please forgive me ... I get that from my father"),^[11] only to catch himself barking again (this is likely a reference to the movie White Dog)^{[citation needed]}. In the episode "Chick Cancer", Stewie asks Brian a hypothetical along the lines of "What kind of man would I be if I ran off now?" to which Brian replies "You'd be a black man". Even Stewie, never exactly the liberal humanist, is disgusted by this remark,^[12] after which Brian again tries to excuse himself by citing his father. However, in the episode Peter's Two Dads, Brian is taken aback after Peter says that he acquired crack cocaine "from Blacks," referring to a white guy selling crack behind Black's Hardware Store.^[13] In a flashback, we see Brian enraged by the verdict of the O. J.
